TOGETHER ALONE: FRAGMENTS & POEMS is a personal yet unifying collection of art, fragments, and poetry meant to help soothe the ache of "these days" and bring us closer to ourselves and others. TOGETHER ALONE is a conversation between The Self, The Other, and The Everyone as they share the universal experience of connection and separation. TOGETHER ALONE takes an emotionally deep and philosophically honest approach to this axis, letting it all hang out from first same-sex kisses, to confessions and forgiveness. With rhythmic and precise poetry paired with digitally sketched illustrations and art by Syrah Kai, TOGETHER ALONE guides readers through the darkest parts of their hearts (the parts that are hardest to admit to) and into the shoes of others, highlighting they joys and shadows of being together and being alone. Major themes include connection, solitude, self growth, love lessons, isolation, loss, and forgiveness. A peek inside: TOGETHER ALONE No matter how isolated you think you are you're not the only one suffering we share this experience the highs and lows we are always connected together alone ---------------------------------------------- WE ARE ON TIME Maybe we aren't doomed as a species of materialism and stupidity maybe we are right on time on cue-on key to break out into the chorus of our evolution maybe we aren't anywhere close to the end but actually in the middle of the great eventually ---------------------------------------------- LONG DISTANCE CALLING Do you remember those late night long distance phone calls that used to last until my sunrise and your midnight? I'd whisper in your ear in my lowest pillow voice and I could practically feel your warmth on mine how absurd we connected through a screen a collapsed world the distance was a fallacy you were here and it was real ---------------------------------------------- WITH LOVE inspired by Sharon Olds I don't know how they do it with so much love. The union of heart and soul forever and maybe after like colliding cosmic bodies bursting into April showers, with mouths open and fingers interlaced, skin so sweaty dripping with faith. The drum of hearts synching, writing all those terrible love songs. I don't know how they can get so close, or why they would, why would you give yourself away completely, for free? They are the Lovers I suppose, who love love so much they make it everywhere they go They feel so liberated doing it gently in the shower and a little rougher on the couch. exchanging saliva in domestic bliss honey I'm home give me a kiss
